How it feels

A deliberately slow, tense first-person crawl through a decaying tower, evoking the claustrophobic dread of classic survival horror.

What players say

Players praise the short horror game for its unique control scheme and excellent atmosphere, calling it a creative experience reminiscent of Amnesia. There is split opinion on the controls: many say the unorthodox hand mechanic adds tension and fits the game, while others find them frustrating and poorly designed.
